A cyclist was wrenched from his bike after riding head-first into a barbed wire booby trap.
The barrier was made of wire and branches and stretched across the trail in woodland near to Taff’s Well Quarry in south Wales.
He said: ‘The trap was set across the track with woven branches within it that were fixed horizontally.
Neil has been riding in the area for over 30 years but has never seen something like this before.
He said he ‘isn’t against walkers’ as he walks his dogs in the area himself, but added: ‘Frustrations are high at the moment and people just need to get along, we all need to release our energy and get the exercise where and when we can’.
A spokeswoman for South Wales Police said: ‘The incident was reported to police at around 5pm on May 23?
‘Anyone with information is asked to please contact South Wales Police on 101, quoting occurrence number *178556.’
